The Sensory Dispensary

Simon & Garfunkel’s 1968 release Bookends is really a remarkable album, and my favorite from the duo. “Old Friends” is gorgeous and while “Hazy Shade of Winter” and “At the Zoo” are both brilliant, the standout track for me has always been “America” – with its clever lyrics and one of the best examples of just how good their voices sounded together in harmony.
